On September 18 2008 six immigrants were shot to death in Castelvolturno, southern Italy. Since that day people hurried in declaring to the media that Italy is not a racist nation. I believe that a racist wind is blowing in this fucking country. These pictures tell no story; the story is in the faces and gestures of these people. People that left their hell just to find a worst one. Here, in Italy.

 

Regi Lagni is a complex network of channels built in the 16th century by Spanish Viceroyalty and ended by the Bourbon kings. The network of channels covers an area of 56 km and its main function was to drain water during floods. Today the situation has completly changed and the Regi Lagni can be defined as an ecological bomb. Any kind of refusals are dumped inside the channels: from toxic waters to heavy industry powders to car wrecks to gravestones. Cow buffals from whose milk mozzarella di bufala is produced drink the toxic waters of the channels. The higly polluted waters unload directly into the sea in Castelvolturno causing what will inevitably become an enviromental disaster.
